Hi all. We're localizing our application for Japan, and we've noticed that the
Japanese OS seems to calculate the width of menus based on the size of the raw
two-byte text rather than the actual Japanese characters. This causes the menus
and menu titles to be much wider than necessary, leaving lots of blank space to
the right of the text. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
Also, we've disabled "High Bit Translation", but the PalmRez compiler does not
seem to handle 'tSTR' resources correctly. If we load text from a 'tSTR'
resource and display it in a dialog, it appears as garbage characters. However,
if we create our own resource type (say, 'TSTR'), the characters appear
correctly. The down-side to the latter solution is that return characters are
not translated correctly and appear as boxes. Is there a new PalmRez compiler
that I can get my hands on?
